ESSENTIAL SUPER SIZED AND INTEGRATED TVS
A BIG FUTURE Barry Sheldrick, Director of Sales at DbM, takes a look at the future of large format displays. When speaking to our network of integrators, it quickly became apparent that most of them had experienced difficulties when installing these types of displays. One challenge is the alignment issue of multiple tiles. In the real world, walls are not always flat (who knew!?) and this can cause problems in aligning the various wall brackets for each of the sections that make up a larger picture. As you can imagine, this can lead to extra time being required on site, repeat call backs and the erosion of profit margins as your labour costs increase. The second challenge that we’ve heard about is service. The individual tiles that make up the larger image need to be easily removeable. You ideally want spare tiles on site and a UK service centre to look after them in a timely fashion. The final piece of feedback is on the excessive heat generated by some displays. We worked with LG for over a year to identify all the challenges that integrators face when deploying large direct view LED screens. The idea of this being that we could bring a solution to the market that addressed all key concerns. We wanted to offer our integrators an easy to install, profitable and aesthetically pleasing large format display, without any of the headaches usually associated with these types of installs. We are proud to present the LG MSD3000, a 1.56 pixel pitch display which can accept UHD and HDR10 signals, whilst only consuming

around 800w on average. The 800w figure is important to consider; the MSD3000 is, for its size and 500 NIT light output, a low creator of heat in the living room too. The beauty of the MSD3000 is in the simplicity of the installation. Once the simple wall brackets are installed, the two large cabinets which house the tiles simply slide together and are bolted to secure. There are a couple RJ45 and power connections to plug in and then the chassis is ready to accept the 72 tiles that make up the image. Usefully, each tile is numbered and lettered, which ensures that the panel is assembled with the best uniformity. With a single UK plug
socket, even the power requirement is very easy to manage. When we built the MSD3000, it took around two hours from unboxing to enjoying an image. For anyone that has installed a large format tile display before, this is a game-changer! With just over 5m² of image area, the MSD3000 is absolutely brilliant in the larger living/dining/kitchen spaces that we see on more and more plans that our integrators present us with. Without the drawback of bezels often seen on 3x3 LCD screens, your clients can enjoy bright, beautiful images in well-lit rooms. With low input latency, the MSD3000 is also superb for gaming.
